In the video above, Jurgen Klopp has backed the idea that children should be taught about nutrition at grassroots level in football.

In Subway 's latest #BreakfastwithKlopp installment, the Liverpool boss is sat with three grassroots football coaches. One of whom states that there now is more pressure on him to teach nutrition to youngsters.

But stresses that when he was a child, he would not have liked being told what and what not to eat.

However, Klopp believes that many people don't care about what they eat.

Because they are not aware of whether what they are consuming is good or bad for them.

Klopp added that in football as a sport, information about nutrition entered too late. Luckily, now, there is something being done about it.
